t_strerror(3) t_strerror(3)
NAME [Toc] [Back]
t_strerror() - produce an error message string
SYNOPSIS [Toc] [Back]
#include <xti.h> /* for X/OPEN Transport Interface - XTI */
int *t_strerror (errnum);
int errnum;
struct info *info;
DESCRIPTION [Toc] [Back]
The t_strerror() function maps the error number in errnum that
corresponds to an XTI error to a language-dependent error message
string and returns a pointer to the string. The string pointed to
will not be modified by the program, but may be overwritten by a
subsequent call to the t_strerror() function. The string is not
terminated by a newline character. The language for error message
strings written by t_strerror() is implementation-defined. If it is
English, the error message string describing the value in t_errno is
identical to the comments following the t_errno defined in <xti.h>.
If an error code is unknown, and the language is English, t_strerror()
returns the string:
"error: error unknown"
where error is the error number supplied as input. In other
languages, an equivalent text is provided.
Thread-Safeness [Toc] [Back]
The t_strerror() function is safe to be called by multithreaded
applications, and it is thread-safe for both POSIX Threads and DCE
User Threads. It has a cancellation point. It is neither asynccancel
safe nor async-signal safe. Finally, it is not fork-safe.
Valid Status [Toc] [Back]
All - apart from T_UNINIT.
RETURN VALUE [Toc] [Back]
The function t_strerror() returns a pointer to the generated message
string.
